Things have been a lot better sense the last few times I've been around. I still live at my mom's house, but I'm with David most of the time. My mom senses that and she now "claims" to have no problem with me leaving now, due to my absence at home. Since I never believe what my mom tells me, I'm not going to take her word for it, because I'm sure she will change her mind just as she does ALL the time. You know, after that happening so many times, I think I have the utmost reason not to trust what she says. Well anyways, I'm leaving whether she wants me to or not. I'm 18, and have been so for a while. It's my life, and I REFUSE to let her take control of it. She needs to take a step or two back and control her OWN life; obviously seeing that now even at 41, she cries about having to do chores, and can't decide if she wants a man in or out of her life. She just needs to give it a rest!

I know that you're wondering WHEN I'll actually move out of my mother's house. David and I have tried to devise a plan of how to go about this, and we've come up with something quite simple. When we both get jobs, then it will be OK for me to move into his house. But we also have to save up for our own apartment by next year. Dave's mom is moving north of Florida, and we are unsure of where we're going to live at the moment, but we know that we're going to be on our own together. After we get our jobs, we'll come up with plans to save money so we can have a place to live and go to school.

 But really only the future knows what's in store for him and I. Our relationship is VERY serious, and yes at 18, I KNOW that I have found the one. He consumes me entirely, and if it wasn't for him, I'd still be on a self-destructive path as I was before him. I love you, David.
